5.5.2.2 Wiring and connecting PROFIBUS connectors
Requirement
NOTICE
PROFIBUS connector
Use only the recommended PROFIBUS connectors from Siemens. For more, see also 
section Accessories (Page 41).
NOTICE
Material damage resulting from the connection of a PROFIBUS connector to service 
connection X8
Connecting a PROFIBUS connector to service connection X8 can damage the SIDOOR controller 
and the connected device.
For this reason, only connect a bus connector to connection X705.
Note
• Always use shielded cables.
• For stationary operation, it is advisable to remove the insulation of the shielded cable and to 
establish contact on the shield/PE conductor bar.
• If there is a potential dierence between the grounding points, an impermissibly high 
compensating current can ow through the shield grounded at both ends. To rectify the 
problem, do not, under any circumstances, open the shield of the bus cable.
Install an additional equipotential bonding conductor parallel to the bus cable to carry the 
shield current.
• You can nd additional information in the manual SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS Networks (https://
